Yesterday's Luncheon Menu

when i was younger
complicated
often filled my table
although it wasn't filling
i was proud of the complication
now
as silver begins the slow route
around my head
simple
tomato soup
with french bread
fill me up
i savor the different qualities
presented by both
different and complimentary
like Bahiyyah
who served the feast
with generosity
and love
and compassion
and sweetness
like Bahiyyah
sweet, nourishing
good for me
blessed with Bahiyyah
and tomato soup
i'll try not to burp
sweet
